Raise Your Voice...I am loud anyway!
I am loud. Always have been. For a while after I was diagnosed, I became quiet. There was no one to talk to about having type 1 diabetes. That's right type 1. I never drop the pre-fix. I refuse to uneducate anyone further. Although the shots are hard, the cgms' suck, pumps fail, and my fingers hurt, these are not the hardest thing about having Type 1 diabetes. The hardest part to me, is that people just don't get it.

How many times have you heard...

Can't you just eat healthy and you won't have to take shots?

Did you used to be overweight?

My grandmother died from diabetes. If you don't take care of yourself you will.

If you drink a coke will you...

Hope for the Future

D-Blog Day!
D-Blog day is important! It is time to educate, listen up. D-Blog day is a chance for me to say the six things I want you to know most about diabetes.

No matter how much I exercise, I still have to take insulin... This may be my biggest diabetes pet-peeve. People with Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease, must always take insulin. We need this to stay alive. It is not a cure. NOT A CURE!! No matter how many HOURS a...

Diabetes Sucks
Diabetes Sucks. That is a very strong statement. Two short words, but generally those that say it have years of struggle behind it.

Lately I've encountered many fellow diabetics that have used this phrase (and some much stronger verbiage). If you know me, or have been around this blog for awhile, you know my approach.

I have read all of the posts about The Onion article. Kelly's broke my heart. I felt every word she wrote.

I have not lost a child to diabetes. I cannot relate to the feelings these parents express. However, I know how I feel. I know that when I crawl in to bed at night and my blood sugar is around 100, I am scared.

What if I don't wake up?

My husband is traveling 80% of the time...I am extremely independent. My diabetes...
